IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-BURNERS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent N0. l 57,5 l 8, dated December 8, 1874; application filed July 20, 1874.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT HoADLEY, of Ansonia, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Lamp-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure l, a side view; Fig. 2, one-half vertical section; and in Fig. 3, a top view.

This invention relates to an improvement in that class ot kerosene-burners in which the delector is raised above a perforated air-distributing disk, so as to leave a space between the two, and the chimney, passing down over the deiector, rests upon the said perforated disk, the object being principally to allow of the easy removal oi' the deector for the purpose ot' trimming the wick.

This invention consists in forming the chimney-supportin g springs, and the posts for supporting the cone or detlector, from one and the same piece by cutting a tongue from the springs, and bending the tongue back, so as to allow the chimney to pass down between the ton gue and springs, the said tongues forming elastic posts, upon which the detlector rests, but so as to be removed at pleasure, in consequence of the elasticity of the posts, as more fully hereinafter described.

A is the screw, by which the burner is secured to the neck; B, the wick-tube; C, the

perforated deflector-plate, forming the chimney-rest D; E, the coneall of substantially the usual form. From the chimney-rest several posts, F, (here represented as three,) extend up, their ends passing through perforations c in the cone; the ends of these posts formed with a shoulder, d, as seen in Fig. 2, arranged so that the springs tend outward. The deiiector is passed down over the ends of the posts, as seen in Figs. 2 and 3, until it rests beneath the shoulder d; the elasticity of the posts firmly holds the cone 1n place, but yet allows the cone to be easily removed by pressing inward one of the posts. These posts are formed in one and the same piece with the chimney-supporting spring G 5 the posts F struck from the supports G, and bent backward; the post passed up through a perforation, f, in the chimneyrest, and the lower end ot' the support G soldered or otherwise attached to the plate O beneath, as seen in Fig. 2.

I claimy In combination with the chimney-rest O and delector E, the chimney-supportin g springs G, with the deiiector-posts F struck therefrom,

the springs and posts attached to the chimney-rest, the said posts constructed with the shoulder d, and the deiiector wi th corresponding pert'orations a to lock on to the said shoulders, the whole substantially as described.
